Cost and flexibility are only two of MANY issue when making a clear body kit. Please note that none of the more recent kits are near the size of the Petty Charger, not near the age of the Petty mold......that has been modified a number of times. I have two friends in the industrial molding industry......both talk about how hard it would be to get a mold the size of the Petty kit to come out correct EVERY time.....which is what is required in mass production. Ten percent rejects would have raised the cost a bunch. I am thankful R2 spent the money to restore the kit......I'd take the kit in pink right now.......

Stock versions of the 32, any of them, I'd buy.....but might be a tough sell to the model co's......

The 1932 Ford has MANY models left before they 'have done them all'.......They still have 8-10 body styles to go!!! The few things I know are coming from different manufactures will make many a folk happy for sure.......

Contact me if you need info on Baker decals for the 1/16 kit.

Minicraft has very few molds of their own. They lease rent barrow molds from other manufactures. Thus the kits run from great to only fair.....all depends on the kit.

Got mine today....good job R2 on the restore....not 100% restored but about 99.5% so it's all good. No screen material for the grille and decal sheet is a bit short.....but OK.

PLEASE!!! Bigger pics!! Those of us that are old need bigger pics!! I own a 1/1 1974 Matador Coupe so I love these cars!!

Still being worked on.........remember Moebius has a full line of model subjects......Sci Fi, Military, Fantasy and stuff like the 1313 Mockingbird and the coming Mel's. LOTS of irons in the fire!!!

Mason Dist of Roanoke Va is the manufacture......any hobby shop can get them. Check SMH and Round-up models for mail order/internet. Thanks

Never seen those decals......but here is a new trucking decal sheet from Gopher decals......

Love it!! Rails lost my interest when they went rear engine. FE rail is cool.....VERY nice work.

Those plastic 'shoe box' tubs.......

Automated shipper or not I've never lost an auction I HAD to have. I have lost them with less than 2 seconds left but only because it went over my absolute max I was willing to spend. If you bid the absolute maximum amount you are willing to pay you will win or get beat by someone willing to pay more....which is OK with me. On the kit it's the MPC Ford Mk IV chassis with a new body. Decent kit that did not have a real long production run.

1/24 scale....looks like a baseball bat!!!!

That was my first resin and maybe Jimmys too.......as when I bought mine from him he did not have decals yet and they came weeks later. Mine is decent and easy kit.....just make sure you clean the resin well.

Ditto....WOW

Revell has been trying 'outside the box' marketing for a few years now. At one time they had merchandisers available for grocery stores and other stores.

Terry, Model Round-up will be carrying the Police kits for sure. Any dealer can get them by contacting Model King, info on any MK box.

This project has been stalled for 10 years!!! It started out as a 1/12 Roush Racing IMSA GTO Cougar. I have failed a number of times to build a body I was happy with....so here it sits. Chassis is all Evergreen and Plastruct plastic. Some Grandt line NBW castings. Suspension works with working coil overs. Engine started as a small block Chevy with all detail removed from block, re detailed as a SBF and new heads and valve covers made and cast in resin. Lots of turned aluminum pulleys etc. I NEED to work on this again.......

You can contact me for info here or on Randys bb.....thanks

I'll give you credit for hand painting them......It's what I had to do on my original kit when the kit decals were defective. But next time try these.......

Geo Metro has a 3 cyl.....but I think they were just talking current production. It too is a 1000 cc motor.

While it's only 70hp or so the 3 cyl engine in my Smart 452 is no slouch. I keep pace on the Interstate, out run them most the time and driven in manual mode runs great. A all new design with eco and turbo should be hot. Dad's Flex with the twin turbo 6 is UNREAL fast.....it's the biggest fastest thing I've driven.

Nice work!!! I want to do the same conversion for a Conehead driving school car!!! I bashed a Taurus with a Dodge mini van to make my wagon. Sorry for the bad pic....it was with my first diggy and it was very poor....need new pics.

WILD!!!!
